Resolve User Changes Properties dialog
You use the Resolve User Changes Properties dialog to review any changes that your permanent resources have made to the appointments and tasks that have been created in Microsoft Outlook® following the publication of their allocations. For example, a resource could change the start and finish dates of an Outlook appointment, or the start and finish dates, the percentage complete and the total and actual work and effort of an Outlook task.
You can choose to accept or reject each change. If you accept a change, the corresponding resource allocation in Asta Powerproject is updated with the changes (unless it is currently locked to another user). If you reject a change, the Outlook appointment or task is reset to its previous state and the permanent resource is sent an email to inform them that their change has been rejected.
How to access the Resolve User Changes Properties dialog
The Resolve User Changes Properties dialog appears during the process of publishing details of permanent resources' assignments to Microsoft Outlook if any users have made changes to their published assignments.
This dialog is not available in Asta Powerproject SaaS.
